Windows 10: What errors can an older BIOS driver cause?

Eighteen months ago, maybe longer, I started having a lot of Black and Blue screen errors with any version of Windows 10 or Windows 11 and could not find the cause.From what I can recall and I can't remember exactly the wording of the errors but mostly they varied from Page fault, IRQ not less than equal, memory out of range and driver errors.I tried dual booting a fresh install of Windows 10, progressively going right back to 1903, which for some reason was quite stable although it did crash occasionally, so I stayed with it while I tested other things.I replaced the ram and ssd drives which

Possible Causes of atikmdag errors

I was courious to see how many different causes there are to the infamous atikmdag.sys error that strikes widely across and has so for a long time, I am getting it myself also and it is really starting to wear me out. It is pretty annoying having a $520 Readeon 3870x2 card if you can't use it without errors.

So first of all, here is the apparant reason for my atikmdag error:

When I play a game, regardless of settings, clocks or anything else, the fan speed wil not be adjusting and the card will get hotter as it performs. As soon as the card gets hot enough, my system will attempt to speed up the fan and as soon as they do, I get the atikmdag error. I never hear the fan of my card go beyond 30% fan speed unless I push it using Rivatuner.

Anyone else got other apparant reasons?

By the way, here are the steps I have been trying to fix it

• Renaming atikmdag.sys to "atikomdag.sys(old)
• Set fan speed profiles in Rivatuner depending on temeprature thresholds
• Setting fixed fan speed in Rivatuner
• Installing only the ATI drivers without Catalyst Control Centre
• Replacing RAM blocks
• Trying older drivers

I have probably tried a few

Unknown BIOS error causing BIOS resets.

I do check C driver properties and found no errors, the screenshot below is normal after a scan. I did another just now and no errors were found. strange that crystal disk found so many and windows check did not find one.*Confused

Can you suggest a tutorial that covers swapping C drive with a new one?
Something must be causing this error, if not the drive any suggestions?
